In light of the car burglaries law enforcement officials are asking women to keep purses nearby when exiting their vehicles. Police said that’s the best practice to keep your personal property from falling into the wrong hands.

“Today I left my bag in the car,” said Jill Dixon, who was visiting a busy park in Edmond. “Knowing someone could be watching, I’ll keep it closer.”

In the most recent burglary, detectives with the Oklahoma City police said thieves tried to use a stolen gift card at MetroShoe Warehouse on Memorial Road.

The same thing happened in Logan County at the Farmers and Merchants Bank on Waterloo Road.

Sheriff's deputies said a woman wearing a blonde wig tried to cash a stolen check using stolen ID.

The victim said the bank teller noticed the woman did not match the ID, called for a supervisor and then dialed 911.

Police said they believe the vehicle in connection with the case is a white Nissan with either an Oklahoma or Florida license plate.
